First child passport - supporting documents you'll need to provide
IPS needs to see original documents that prove your child is British. IPS does not accept photocopies of documents or documents that have been laminated, but will accept documents that are laminated for Braille labelling.
A birth certificate is not considered absolute proof of identity. Even if your child was born in the UK, IPS may ask to see further documents.
The documents IPS needs to see depend on where your child was born.
If you're still not sure what you need to send after reading the details below, call the IPS Passport Adviceline 0300 222 0000.
If the child was born or adopted in the UK
IPS needs to see the child's full birth or adoption certificate showing parents' details and one of the following:
* section 4 of the application form completed with the British passport details for either parent*
* UK birth certificate for either parent*
* Home Office certificate of registration or naturalisation for either parent*
* the passport that was valid at the time of the child's birth** for either parent*
Note*: if supplying the father's details, IPS needs to see the parents' marriage certificate as well.
Note**: if the passport expired before the child's birth, you need to send the passport on which the parent entered the UK.
If the child was born outside the UK
IPS needs to see the child's full birth certificate* or adoption certificate showing parents' details and one of the following:
* section 4 of the application form completed with the British passport details for either parent**
* UK birth certificate for either parent**
* Home Office certificate of registration or naturalisation for either parent**
* the passport that was valid at the time of the child's birth for either parent**
Note*: if the child has a birth certificate issued by a British consulate or high commission, you do not need to send any other documents.
Note**: if you are sending the father's documents, you also must send the parents' marriage certificate if the child was born before 1 July 2006.
If the child was born outside the UK but has a certificate of naturalisation or registration from the Home Office
IPS needs to see:
* the naturalisation or registration certificate
* the passport on which the child entered the UK
can anyone advice abt the check and send service.
